Zaheer out of Mumbai's semi-final clash against Services

Mumbai's chances of progressing to the final of this year's Ranji Trophy final took a blow when experienced left-armer Zaheer Khan was left out for the match against surprise semi-finalists, Services.

Zaheer had suffered a calf injury during Mumbai's gane against Madhya Pradesh and he further aggravated the injury in the game against Gujurat. The vastly experienced pacer also had to miss out quarter-final game against Baroda.

The team also had some good news as they were boosted by the return of Suryakumar Yadav.

The Ranji trophy 2012/13 was eventually won by the Indian domestic giants - Mumbai - for the 40th time in the tournament's history, but it was a season to remember for two other teams - Services and Saurashtra.
